CMF Buds 2 and Buds 2 Plus in for review
Starting with the base model, the new CMF Buds 2 comes with a custom 11mm PMI (polymethacrylimide) driver. The sound is tuned by the Swedish brand Dirac, which has worked on other products with Nothing in the past. You also get 6 microphones (three on each earbud), which work with the Hybrid ANC to deliver 48dB of claimed noise cancelation.
The Buds 2 come in three colors, Light Green, Orange, and the Dark Grey featured here. The case design is similar to previous CMF and Nothing products and features a rotating dial on the lid in clear plastic. However, unlike the functional dial on the CMF Buds Pro 2, the dial here is merely ornamental and at best can house a lanyard.
The Buds 2 Plus have a custom 12mm LCP (liquid crystal polymer) driver. The sound is tuned in-house by Nothing and you also get LDAC and Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification. You also get 6 microphones but with a higher 50dB of noise cancelation.
The Buds 2 Plus come in Blue and the Light Grey featured here. The Plus model has a metal rotating dial on the lid but is just as ornamental otherwise as the one on the 2 and also the 2a models.
Both models are IP55 rated for the earbuds and IPX2 for the case, have Bluetooth 5.4 with dual connection, low latency mode, and around 14 hours of continuous playback.
As you read this, we are working on the reviews for both models and they should be out very soon.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE storage variants and color options revealed
It's almost time for the next-generation Galaxy S Fan Edition phone, so the rumors start flying in. The Galaxy S25 FE is expected to arrive sometime in September, if we go by the Galaxy S24 FE release last year, and we already know what it would look like as well as some key specs. Galaxy S24 FE The latest leak talks about the device's memory and color options. The device will offer the usual 8GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB storage configurations, which are a bit disappointing given that most competitors in the price bracket offer 256GB base storage. As far as colors go, which are not accompanied by renders, are Navy, Icy Blue, Jet Black and White. We've already seen the Navy, Jet Black and Icy Blue colors on the current Galaxy S lineup, so we have a good idea of what to expect. Also, none of the listed colors is an option on the current Galaxy S24 FE. Source

Galaxy S26 Ultra is headed for a redesign, leaked render shows
Galaxy S25 Ultra | Image Credit - PhoneArena Since 2022's Galaxy S22 Ultra, Samsung's highest-end S-series phones have featured rear camera arrays without a camera island, but that may change with the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Long-time leaker Ice Universe has shared a fan-made render of the Galaxy S26 Ultra on the social media website X. He thinks it probably resembles the real phone. While he isn't confident about the final design yet, he connected all the dots and concluded that this is what the phone would likely end up looking like. The concept envisions a Galaxy S25 Ultra with a raised area for housing three of the four rear cameras. Leaked Galaxy S26 Ultra render. | Image Credit - Ice Universe That's a departure from the Galaxy S25 Ultra 's design, which doesn't have a camera bump. Samsung apparently isn't doing this just to change things up. According to Ice, the rumored main and 5x telephoto cameras will have larger apertures, meaning the size of the opening in the lens will be larger to let more light in. The lenses will take up more space as a result. At the same time, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to be thinner than the S25 Ultra. If Samsung were to keep the same arrangement for the camera, it would give the phone a weird look. That's because the cameras will stick out more than before, probably extending 3mm beyond the rear. This is why Samsung will house the primary, ultrawide, and 5x telephoto camera in a raised island. Leaker Ice Universe explains the reason behind a potential design change. This is also going to bring the phone's design closer to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which hasn't ditched the camera bump. Another leaker known as @kro_roe has corroborated the leak, while adding that the cameras will have rings around them. The current Ultra design was getting a little long in the tooth, and most people will be happy to see it go. It doesn't look like much else will be changing, on the outside at least. The device is expected to flaunt better battery and charging specs and will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 for Galaxy chip. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is believed to be selling well, and the Fold 7 also seems to be a hit. An improved Galaxy S26 Ultra will help Samsung build on that success and keep its number one ranking.
